i got an email with many links in it. message is attached, on the 
right side there are many links.
i don't understand why 'jetbrains.org' =>
'http://go.jetbrains.com/426QVD1140000Y100tse900' is marked bad 
while 'jetbrains.com' => 
'http://go.jetbrains.com/426QVD1140000Y000tse900' is not.
the only difference here is one character. this seems to be a false positive
No, this is because you don't understand why links are marked as bad. 
'Bad' doesn't mean the target doesn't exist. Links are marked as bad, 
when they direct you some other place than what is displayed on screen.

In this case, what is shown on the screen is a link in the 
'jetbrains.org' domain, while it directs you to the 'jetbrains.com' 
domain. This is considered 'bad' because it is frequently used by 
phishing mails, where the displayed value suggests it takes you to 
your bank or government site, but in reality when you click the link 
it takes you a scam site.
